Nancy Spero The War Series 1966-1970

Galvanized by the political events of the Vietnam War, Nancy Spero dedicated herself for five years to creating a group of gouache paintings on paper, titled The War Series. In these works, Spero not only expressed her rage at the violence and oppression of the war, but also introduced many of the images and themes that would continue to find their place in her work, and anticipated the post-modern aesthetic of fracture, dissonance, and collage. This volume is the first to analyze The War Seriesin depth, and its publication could not, unfortunately, be more timely.Spero, Nancy is the author of 'Nancy Spero The War Series 1966-1970', published 2004 under ISBN 9788881584574 and ISBN 8881584573.
